Direct from its sold-old, record-breaking New York City Center Encores! run, Once Upon a Mattress returns to Broadway for the first time since 1996. Two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster gives what The New York Times calls an “ebullient, joyful, perfectly goofy” performance as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone alongside royalty of stage and screen, Michael Urie.
Newly adapted by Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), this New York Times Critic’s Pick introduces the unapologetically eccentric Winnifred to a repressed kingdom, where she charms, delights, and dances her way to the top… of a stack of mattresses.

"I have seen many Broadway shows, and love Sutton Foster. So I was very disappointed when notified the understudy would play the Lead.
But Kara Lindsay was amazing! Without doubt Ms. Lindsay gave the best performance by an understudy I’ve ever seen. She could absolutely carry this show on her own.
The supporting cast was also outstanding. This is not a heavy production, but if you’re looking for a fun show that will leave you laughing and happy as you leave the theatre, this is a show for you."

"A classic story brought to life in a fresh way with a stellar cast. Sutton Foster shines in physical comedy that you don’t expect with her vocal chops. A superior supporting cast is the perfect compliment for a feel good experience."

"Sutton Foster was not doing shows last Saturday which I can’t deny was a little disappointing… however her Stand By Kara Lindsay is a first rate Broadway performer and has definite star talent without star name recognition to lure you to a production… but she delivered a first rate performance and definitely was right for the role…
The cast were all first rate and it was great to see and hear a 15 or 16 piece band instead of electronic substitutions…
Very entertaining show perhaps a little heavy on time updates ie a beer helmet and such, but overall well done and very entertaining… and well worth the time…
